Hi, my name is Dave.
I am a full stack web developer.

Here's a little about me

My Background

Growing up in Hamilton, my high school's TV studio drew me into video production. This led me to study Media Arts at Sheridan college, where I developed a taste for post-production. From there, I started my own freelance video business. Later I moved to Toronto in order to work at Dell Productions, where I was employed for over 12 years.

While I still enjoy video production, I was looking for a new challenge and decided to take up computer programming. After studying in my spare time, I completed a course in Object Oriented Programming at Humber College. From there I knew I wanted to turn web development into a career and registered for the full-time web development program at Brain Station.

Currently I am searching for employment where I hope to contribute my skills while learning new ones.

As Dave's Educator at Brainstation, I watched Dave work through material and solve genuinely hard problems, both in and out of the course, often with little to no assistance. Dave has shown an affinity for development, and self-taught learning. Dave comes highly recommended by my self.
